Construction/Design Pictures
As our second project in Mechatronics we were assigned groups to design and build a recyclable furniture that have an electrical component.
The Furniture had to be made of mainly newspaper and cardboard.
These pictures compliment our process of our design.

For our design we went for a more futuristic approach by spray painting the box with white and silver paint. The box design was similar to that of a honeycomb, but with rectangles. We lined up 40 or 50 pieces and glued them together to create 9 rectangular boxes. As seen in the photos, we placed pieces of cardboard to line in the bottom inside of our box.
We built arduino components and code to add to our design. The electrical component was made to make the furniture look alive, and make the furniture look more futuristic. We were originally going to go with a more complex arduino challenge, but we sadly failed to make it a reality. The LED strip wasn't lighting up correctly with the code, so we had to make a different and much more simpler approach. So we had to go with plan B. Plan B was to make two LED's light up one after the other, to make the furniture look like a robot of some kind.
If my group had more time with the project we would most definitely added a backrest and to make our arduino component much more complex than what it is.
